Zandronum

GAWD

Leave the taunt spammers alone.

That's not even that bad, try people who spam at a hyperspeed rate just under the kick threshold.

This is care bears compared.

That too.

That sound's like having lagg

the line is drawn at 3 tics per loop

Ah, thank you very much Tux. I learned something new about Zandronum today.

The taunt system isn't the problem. The spammers are. So, disabling the taunt system isn't the solution.

There are other players who use taunts in a clever way -- perhaps you don't play enough to see that.

Ban the spammers.

it could have something like the chat system, taunt 5 times in 1 second results in 30 seconds taunt mute

I like this idea. Sounds like a job for a tracker ticket.

Please. You're making it seem like it's a big deal. You can always turn taunts back on when the spamfest is gone. I usually turn off taunts in Idiotic LMS when people start spamming barney's taunt, then turn it back on after a while.

Orrrr a CCMD to ignore a certain player's taunts by index, if you know who it's coming from.

It's more specific than disabling taunts altogether with cl_taunts 1, but honestly taunt spamming doesn't bother me anymore. Only if it's the Cirno skin from vrskins or the Roadrunner from RBCskins.

Yeah, I just thought of that. Also an option to disable taunts for certain skins/classes, or replace them with the default taunt or something.
I've been writing ideas for a zandronum client that has lots of features that help you get the annoying shit out of the way. Hopefully I will turn those ideas into actual code soon.

Well idk about you but i can use my 1 tic loop taunt spam for quite a while before being kicked.

This is literally a non-issue. Gonna have to agree with Mobius on this one; who cares?

Heh heh

It is a system that is easily spammable (to some extent), yet you say the people who spam it are the problem. It has never been considered significant enough of an exploit (if you'd even call it that) for devs to change up the way it works, because the problem is commonly solved by disabling the taunt system, which makes it the very definition of a solution, contrary to what you said. Don't be trying to fault players for something you can easily avoid with a single command. At the very least, you should wish for something similar to what Aenima suggested.

If you're that eager to ban people because you're too lazy to change a client variable that's making you uncomfortable, I sure as heck wouldn't want to play in any server you own. lol

Correct, and someone already mentioned the REAL solution, which is to have a cooldown on it or auto-mute after excessive use.

It's not about laziness. It's about keeping the taunt system in control without effortlessly disabling it.

Well, you don't play doom any ways, so you won't have to worry.

Taunt spam is fun. If you don't like that, turn off skins. (Or sounds)
